What is this MCP

This is an MCP server implementation specifically designed for configuring OpenTelemetry Collectors dynamically. It enables management of OpenTelemetry components (receivers, processors, exporters) through Model Context Protocol (MCP).

Configure your MCP client to connect to the server (typically at http://localhost:3001/sse). Use the provided endpoints to list components, retrieve schemas, and update configurations. The server exposes resources for receivers, processors, and exporters with their metadata.

What this MCP can be used for

This MCP server is primarily used for dynamic configuration management of OpenTelemetry Collector instances. It enables real-time updates to telemetry pipelines, component discovery, and schema validation for OpenTelemetry configurations in distributed systems.
